China calls for "correct understanding" of its Myanmar policy

BEIJING, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday rejected criticism of its Myanmar policy, calling on relevant organizations to correctly understand the policy.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said that China had adopted a "good-neighborly, friendly" policy toward Myanmar, and China's relationship with Myanmar was in the interests of the peoples of both countries.

Liu made the remarks at a regular press conference in response to a journalist's question about an organization criticizing China's Myanmar policy.

"China's policy toward Myanmar is conducive to the peace and democracy process in Myanmar, and the realization of peace and reconciliation of Myanmar," Liu said.

"We hope relevant organizations can have a correct understanding of China's Myanmar policy, which is helpful to Myanmar's situation," said Liu.
